Should a teenager rapist get capital punishment?

Recently four rapists of a girl were sentenced to death of which one was a teenager when he had committed the crime. Nirbhaya the victim had been raped and murdered brutally by these four rogues in Delhi, India.
The accused teenager's lawyer and some human rights activist wanted a more liberal judgement for him. Is this justified? If a teenager can commit a heinous crime as rape and then brutally murder the victim why should he be forgiven and his crime mitigated? Was it a childlike act? To me, if a teenager can think and act like a mature criminal his punishment too should be that severe.

@jstory07 I agree . . If he would be set loose, he would commit similar crime.

Yes definitely he should get a capital punishment.There is no point in saying that he is a juvenile or a teenager. Being the youngest among others he showed more cruelty to the girl. He is the one who inserted the rod inside her. He is the most violent person.He should also suffer the same pain as the girl suffered. He should be behind the bars and no consideration of being a juvenile should be given.He doesn't deserve mercy at all.

That's right. A crime is after all a crime.

Capital punishment should not be imposed on the young man . . . He may have been influenced by the men.

No, he did it on his own and the Supreme Court of India proved it.
